Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter examines the idea that much of the confusion and contradictory evidence about the relation between bilingualism and executive function can be traced to an over-simplification of the two main terms. Using more nuanced definitions for “bilingualism” and “executive function”, research examining the effect of bilingualism on cognition in infancy, childhood, and adulthood is reviewed. The sum of the evidence is then used to attempt to extract a common “mechanism” for the diverse effects that is consistent with a broader definition of the main concepts of bilingualism and executive function. The conclusion is that a continuous notion of “executive attention” in which there is a linear relation between degree of bilingualism and degree of executive function demands provides a good fit with the empirical evidence and a plausible explanation for the modifications found in the brain and behavior of bilinguals across the lifespan.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
